Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a respiratory disease starting point characterized by multiple systemic effects as cognitive dysfunction. This one seems to have an impact in activity daily living, considered mainly as a cognitive-motor dual task situations. Yet to date, no study has specifically focused in the cognitive-motor performance in patients with COPD or on the effects during a rehabilitation program. The main objective of this work was to evaluate the impact of cognitive dysfunction in COPD, comparing performance between COPD patients and healthy subjects in a single and dual task cognitive-motor situation. The secondary objective was to assess the impact of a rehabilitation program on these performances.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
45
Variability of Cognitive performances in a single and dual task situations
Cognitive performance were determined by error count and number of substraction during a counting task.
Time frame: 3 months
Variability of motor performances in a single and dual task situations
Motor performance were determined by variability of length and surface of postural condition and by step variability in locomotion condition
Time frame: 3 months
Effect of rehabilitation program on Cognitive performances in a single and dual task
Comparison before and after rehabilitation program of counting task (number of substraction and error count)
Time frame: 3 months
Effect of rehabilitation program on motor performances in a single and dual task
Comparison before and after rehabilitation program of variability of length and surface of postural condition and step variability in locomotion condition
Time frame: 3 months
